Multiple sources are confirming that Nate Robinson has signed a two-year deal with the Denver Nuggets.

The Associated Press, USA Today, and ESPN have all reported that someone that will remain anonymous “because the deal has not been finalized” have informed them that a deal is in place.

"Nate Robinson and the Denver Nuggets have agreed to a two-year contract worth just more than $4 million, league sources confirmed to ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst.The deal is for the Nuggets’ bi-annual salary-cap exception, which is worth $4.1 million, a source confirmed to Windhorst."

Earlier, Robinson said farewell to Chicago on Twitter as it was learned that he was close to reaching a deal with the Nuggets.

Robinson spent one season with the Bulls, and was known as being a workhorse in the first round series against the Brooklyn Nets in last season’s playoffs. He averaged 16.3 points and 4.4 assists during the playoff stretch.

In the regular season, Robinson played in all 82 games and started in 23 of them. He averaged 13.1 points per game and the same assist average as in the postseason.
